Katie Price squeals in terror as rat leaps at her from her mobility scooter

Katie Price screamed in fear as a rat launched itself at her.

Hundreds of rats have invaded her new mansion sparking fears it will be uninhabitable for her family.

Heart-stopping footage showed the mother-of-five, 42, cry out for help as the rat sprung from the wheel of her mobility scooter.

The furry rodent shot across the kitchen floor in the hair-raising clip shared on her YouTube channel she shares with boyfriend Carl Woods.

Initially the creature had been lurking under the sofa until its hiding place had been unearthed by Katie, Princess and Carl.

Quickly Katie cleared up her cat Hagrid had brought the rat into her home where she’s been living with her five kids.

She told fans: “I want to clarify that when the cameras were off the rat managed to run out the back door safely and unharmed.

“Since then we have cleaned and scrubbed the whole house from top to bottom. This is a first for Hagrid bringing a rat, and hopefully the last!”

The mother-of-five hoped to start afresh in her new place after her £2million Mucky Mansion crumbled into disarray.

But fears have been growing that her flashy new pad in Surrey has become “uninhabitable” amid the reported infestation.

Claims emerged her new home has descended into chaos since the alleged rat problem.

Terror has reportedly struck the heart of the former glamour model and it turns her stomach to see her cat bringing in the rats.

Bins were believed to be what’s attracting the creatures to her home.

A source told The Sun : “There are hundreds of them trying to get into the house from outside – everyone thinks they’ve come over from a nearby garden centre which has rat problems, and have been attracted by the bins.

“It’s horrible and Katie’s terrified – the cat keeps bringing them in and it causes chaos.”

The source added: “She’s complained to the landlord and hopefully they’ll sort it out.”

Katie’s representative told the newspaper “pest control have been called”.

Mirror Online reached out to Katie Price’s representative for comment.

It’s no wonder the rats have been on her mind as Katie lives at her home with her five children – Harvey, Princess, Junior, Jett and Bunny.

In her personal life, the businesswoman has been going steady with her man Carl Woods since their relationship took off in June/July this year.
